âMr. Atkinson, youâre asking me? Who should task, then? I donât know anything about the two of them.â
Noah similed and said. âWe just happened to meet at the class reunion today and decided to come back to the school to take âIf thatâs the case, why is that man carrying Selena?â
âMr. Atkinson, Selenaâs leg is injured, so she canât move around easily. Didnât you see that the wound on her foot was still bleedingâ
âOly no, then she has to be treated quickly. Why is she still in the mood to stroll around the school?
Arenât you guys too ambitious?â
âItâs fine. The wound has been treated. Nothing will happen.â
Noah walked into the security room and picked up Mr. Aikinsonâs thermos before picking up a disposable cup and himself a cup, chatting and laughing with Mr. Atkinson.
While Noah was chatting with Mr. Atkinson, Haylan had already carried Mia to the school field.
pouring At this moment, all the students were already having their evening self-study session. The sounds of reading aloud could be heard from some of the classes. Vagurly, they could hear someone reciting ancient poems, âAgainst biting winds and high sky, the monkeys howl. Over clear water and white sands, birds fly back In the foreign language corner of the school, some high school students were reciting foreign language words, and some students were speaking to each other in that language.
There were also classrooms where students were being tested for specific subjects.
1laylan and Mai sat on the field, and looked around at their surroundings, feeling a little emotional.
It had only been eight years, but the school field had changed from a small forest to a modern field.
There was a football field, a track, as well as a basketball court.
There were even many table tennis tables at the edge of the field.
âI really didnât expect the school to become so nice after we graduated.â Mia sighed.
âItâs one of the laws of schools. After you graduate, the school will definitely become better Haylan smiled.
The two of them chatted casually, talking about many things from the past and their good high school days.
Haylan also went to the school health office. He found gauze and alcohol, disinfected Miaâs wound, and bandaged it.
Mia looked at Haylan who was seriously treating her wound and said sincerely. âHaylan, when did you become so amazing?â
From what Mia could remember, although Haylan had also been stubborn in the past, he had not been that skilled. The current Haylan Jaber was terrifyingly strong, slaughtering so many venomous snakes in the blink of an eye. He was so decisive in killing that he almost killed Sam Davies.
Such skills and methods had shocked Mia.
âIâve just experienced some things and learned some skills,â Haylan said calmly Haylan had learned all his skills in hell. Heâd experienced life-and-death trials and tribulations. In a rain of bullets, he had. hovered between life and death and these skills were like a gift heâd received for going through all of that.
Thinking about what he had experienced in the past, Haylan felt quite emotional.
The bloody battles in the past felt like theyâd occurred just yesterday.
Be it standing in the middle of the city or sitting at the edge of the school in the past, Haylan always had the feeling that heâd fallen asleep on the field as a student and just had a very long dream.
However, the moment he opened his eyes, the school field had changed, and so had he, Limages of the past appeared in his mind as if he was racing past it all.
Haylan looked at everything in the school that was both familiar and unfamiliar and had mixed feelings.
Although Haylan had graduated from here, this place no longer belonged to him.
âTime really flies. In the past, I felt that it would be a long time before I grew up and I couldnât wait for it to come. Now that Iâve grown up. I realize that I was the most carefree when I was studyingâ Haylan sighed.
âYeah, if possible, I wish to live a carefree high school life for the rest of my life.â Mia nodded in agreement.
âThen youâve misunderstood. I donât want to be stuck in high schoolâ Haylan smiled.
Although Haylan missed the innocence of high school, he had no regrets about what he had experienced No pain, no gain.
Haylan had experienced so much suffering and also obtained many skills. Now, he had the ability to protect his family, the ability to stand up for his friends, and the ability to protect his friends and family when they needed him.
All the suffering was worth it.
Mia looked up at Haylan in shock.
Mia thought for a moment before saying. âHaylan, I want to set up a dinner to settle the grudge between you and Maxwellâ
âI appreciate your kindness, but thereâs no need. I donât care about Maxwell Rivers. Haylan said confidently.
Not long ago. Haylan had completely defeated Maxwell. In the future, even if Maxwell appeared in front of him. Maxwell. would not dare to be so arrogant.
âMaxwellâs father is a five-star Lord and holds great power in the Lightdom Military Department. If you continue to fight him, you will definitely not be Maxwellâs matchâ Miaâs eyes were filled with worry.
Haylan smiled but did not continue speaking.
Mia frowned slightly, looking at Haylanâs determined and disdainful gaze. Mia immediately understood that Haylan was also a proud person and would not compromise Hence, Mia didnât continue this line of conversation and changed the topic instead. âI saw you were quite good at carving previously and carved quite beautifully. Can you give me an emerald pendant?â
Haylan was also very forthright, taking out all the stones he had with him and placing them in front of Mia. âWhich one do you want? Pick one yourselfâ
Miaâs eyes lit up as she looked at the stones, feeling like she wanted everything It was too artistic, too beautiful and so vivid and lifelike!
However, Mia was restrained and not that greedy. Instead, she picked up a spirit stone in the shape of a horse and chuckled. Im born in the year of the horse, so Iâll choose this. Thank you.
âBy the way, what do you want? In return, Iâll give you a gift as well âI donât think thereâs anything special I want. If you want to return the favor, do as you see fit. Haylan said with a smile.
âAlright, then give me your address. Iâll send you a gift when itâs ready Mia smiled gently and placed the horse-shaped emerald pendant in her palm as if she had obtained a treasure that she loved and treasured dearly.
âThis stone has been blessed. If you wear it by your side regularly, it will bring you wealth and good luck,â Haylan said. seriously.
âYou still believe in these things? Isnât this feudal superstition?â Mia asked âSome things have been passed down for thousands of years for a reason,â Haylan answered.
âAlright, Iâll listen to you. From today onwards, Iâll definitely wear it by my side and never leave it behind.â Mia nodded seriously, looking at Haylan with sparkling eyes In the fishing village. Toby had already arrived at the scene and was carrying out an autopsy on Deaconâs skeleton to check the cause of his death.
Hugh looked at the skeleton, and he noticed the deformed bone on the skeletonâs arm. Hugh knew it then.
This skeleton was indeed Deacon Williams!
Hugh had been the one who had broken Deaconâs arm and poured cement into it, which was why it was deformed.
âWho would have killed him?â Hugh wondered to himself.
Hughâs gaze was cold as he smoked a cigar. âToby, have you found any clues?â
If they knew Deaconâs cause of death and made further deductions from there, Hugh might be able to find out who the murderer waS, Toby did not answer, continuing to examine the bones.
Hugh continued smoking and waited solemnly.
At this moment, Ben received a call Benâs expression changed as he spoke to the person on the other line, and he exclaimed, âWhat did you say? Samâs neck was slit?â
âWho did in âWho dares to attack Samâ
